Vizrt 4 Cloth Flag Tutorial
How to use the Vizrt 4 Cloth Flag geometry plugin.
The Vizrt 4 Cloth Flag plugin provides a simulation of a cloth material or waving flag. It is much like the cloth plugin in that many of the parameters depend upon one another and are used in conjunction with one another. However, the simulation the Cloth Flag provides is different then the Cloth.
The Vizrt 4 Cloth Flag is found in the Built-Ins window, the Geometry Plugins (GP) tab and the dynamics folder. When you drag this into the scene tree you will not see any of the shading of the cloth flag. It will be best to place an image and or material upon the container as well.
There are many settings within the properties window to adjust the look of the cloth flag. The first setting you’re presented with is the drop down select menu in which you can select: General, Geometry, Move and Advanced tab.
Some of the settings under the General drop down include.
Wind Rotation allows you to adjust the rotation of the wind hitting the flag. The settings go from -720 to 720.
Wind Elevation allows you to adjust the elevation of the wind hitting the flag. This setting can be adjusted from -90 to 90.
Wind Force allows you to adjust the force of the wind hitting the flag. The settings go from .001 to 100.
Gravity Direction enables the force of the gravity applied to the flag.
U Direction will apply gravity horizontally.
V Direction will apply gravity vertically.
None applies no gravity at all.
Pause will pause all animations on the Cloth Flag. This will affect On Air output and in the scene editor window.
Reinitialize will reinitialize the animation.
The video will discuss all of the settings found within each of the tabs found within the dropdown select menu.
